1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine-d4 is labelled 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) (D482210) which is a synthetic analog of naturally-occurring PE containing 18:1 fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. DOPE can be used as an emulsifier to facilitate DNA-liposome complex transport across membranes. It is used in combination with cationic phospholipids to increase efficiency during DNA transfection studies as a non-viral method of gene delivery.
